I went to the Edinburgh Yarn Festival this morning. It's the first wool extravaganza I've ever attended so I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but I was as prepared as I could be with a list of shops I especially wanted to visit and yarn requirements for specific projects in mind.
Here's my haul:
Whistlebare Yeavering Bell 4ply (Fine Kid Mohair/Wensleydale), All's Shipshape.
La Maison Tricotée brought some Hedgehog Fibres Sock Yarn (merino/nylon); I got Pilgrim, Ghost, and Sour Cherry.
This is John Arbon Textiles Viola DK (merino), Aquarius.
Old Maiden Aunt merino/cashmere/nylon 4 ply, Midnight.
Eden Cottage Yarns BFL Sock, Periwinkle.
Last but not least, from Black Bat Rare Breed Wool, Manx Loaghtan and Alpaca DK, undyed.
I did so want to go too, but it was not to be. Thanks for sharing your wonderful haul.

Beautiful yarns. Just as well I'm at the other end of the country. Thank you for sharing the links. I feel some internet shopping coming on.

Thank you for listing our yarn with a yummy photo. Please post a picture of your knitting later as we love to see finished projects or even WIPs. We had a great time at the festival so will definitely be back next year, hopefully see you then!
